TV series featuring female protagonists have been made, but the Destan series promises something else. With the Akkız character played by Ebru Şahin, Destan brought a new breath to the Tuesday evenings. It is predicted that a new era may begin through this character in the history of the series.
We can look at this new era as productions in which female protagonists will be featured. The fact that the importance given to women in the Central Asian Turkish world in the eighth century was more than today is also used in the story of the Destan series.
Here, Ebru Şahin may have started the era of serials in which female protagonists stand out… Because Destan, which found a strong response from the audience, managed to take its place at the top of the ratings with its first episode.
Anibal Güleroğlu, one of the bloggers of Milliyet, also describes this debut in the series Destan as an innovative situation in creating female characters. Stating that the Destan series offers an attractive world to the audience, the author thinks that the Akkız character started a very important period in the sector.
Anibal Güleroğlu made the following statements: “She has so successfully blended the innovativeness of creating a heroine and the action in harmony with the periodic realities in her performance… A perfect Akkız has emerged, both with her visuality and her warrior identity. Of course, it should also be pointed out that Ebru Şahin, who gave her archery and horse riding lessons, greatly improved her acting. Congratulations.
Beyond that, it should be emphasized that the director’s wing of the series, which was successfully written by Nehir Erdem and Ayşe Ferda Eryılmaz, and which hasn’t experienced any disruption in terms of periodic logic at this stage, also did a remarkable job. Emir Khalilzadeh has done justice to every scene and character while handling the script. The flow is as natural as can be.”
Mehmet Bozdağ explained the story of the emergence of the Destan series in a program. In fact, the Akkız character is a fictionalized character by the famous producer. In other words, there is no story that proceeds based on historical events. You see a completely fictionalized series of scenarios. Akkız emerged as the heroine of Mehmet Bozdağ’s dreams, and with the strong atmosphere created, the series achieved its goal even though the first episode was broadcast.
Destan presents a series that can last for many years, and the interest shown abroad does not go unnoticed.
